Limbo 64 – The Official Reveal Trailer for the C64 port of the award winning game has been published

Limbo is a side-scroller game released by Playdead Studio in 2010. The game took the game industry by surprise showing fabulous black & white graphics, clever puzzles, and terrific animation. It was awarded many times by several different game developer associations and now is available for almost all modern game platforms you can think of.

But the big news for us, retro gaming enthusiasts is that Søren Trautner Madsen, who works for Playdead, got the blessing of his employer to develop a port of the game for the Commodore 64.

Søren has just published a reveal trailer on YouTube, showing actual gameplay of his efforts to bring Limbo to the C64. Based on what we could see, it is very promising.

However, Søren makes clear that the work is done on his time and the progress is steady but slow. He jokes that hopefully, the game will be ready in 2024! We can just cheer for him and tell him that we will be waiting 🙂

For the developers out there, you might be interested to know that Søren is using our favorite IDE, CBM Prg Studio and for the music, GoatTracker.
